Follow on Google News | Tibet Everest Base Camp"I am not into trekking but I always dreamed of seeing Mount Everest. Highland Asia's Everest Base Camp 4WD Land Cruiser trip made it possible. The mountain and scenery were awesome and so were the guide and driver! "- Sylvia T., Sacramento, CA.
By: Highland Asia Travel We fly into Lhasa-the capital city of Tibet and tour its highlights while we get acclimatized. We visit the Potala and Norbulingkha Palaces of Dalai Lama, two major Gelugpa Monasteries- Leaving the lake behind, the road climbs up to Karo La pass (16, 500ft) and then drops down to the valley that leads us to Gyantse- a town largely Tibetan in character. Our next stop would be in Shigatse-the second largest city of Tibet-The road of the high Tibetan plateau runs parallel to the Himalayas and offers spectacular views of the Himalayan Peaks all the time. At Shegar, we leave the Friendship Highway and head north to the Everest Base camp. The road climbs to Pang La ( 5, 120m) that offers stupendous views of the Himalayas-including Makalu, Lhotse, Everest, Gyachung and Cho Oyu. From Rongbuk, Everest Base Camp is merely an hour hike or you can opt for a horse cart ride. After a night halt in Rongbuk, retrace drive to the Friendship Highway and continue west towards Nepal. You have still quite a few high passes to conquer. The passes are sacred places for Tibetan people where they stop and offer khada, cotton scarves and lungta, prayer flags. Tour Cost Price: US$ 1495 (2-3 pax), US$ 1225 (4-7 pax), US$ 1060 (8-10 pax), For more details, please visit http://www.highlandasiatravel.com/ # # # Highland Asia Travel, Inc is specialized in small group and custom itineraries for adventure travel to Nepal, Bhutan, Tibet and Indian Himalayas.
